This looks like a good cleanup.

I do wonder how well this works with stacking.  In particular
ovl_xattr_set appears to call vfs_getxattr without overriding the creds.
What the purpose of that is I haven't quite figured out.  It looks like
it is just a probe to see if an xattr is present so maybe it is ok.
